PSLV-C47 / Cartosat-3 Mission

The world's fastest eye satellite Cartosat-3 which is launched on November 27, 2019 at 9:28 am. It was launched via PSLV - C47 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center. According to ISRO, this satellite will place the last satellite on its orbit, 26 minutes 50 seconds after takeoff, which has been established at this time. Apart from this, 13 American satellites have also been launched. 


Cartosat-3 will be installed in 509 km orbit. High resolution imagery is visible on Cartosat-3. The camera mounted on it is so powerful that it can also take a clear picture of an object of 25 cm on the ground. Through them, the number of vehicles running on the road, any weapon or mobile in hand can also be seen. Through this satellite of ISRO, terrorist activities across the border of India can also be closely monitored. In addition, it will also monitor natural disasters.


This satellite can also monitor the changes happening on Earth. Like, changing the direction of river flow, any kind of new construction. This is the fastest satellite in India, which can read up to 509 kilometers above the number of cars running on Earth. Apart from this, the fastest sighting satellite was World View 3 of the US company Maxor, through which the object of 31 centimeters away can be photographed.


Apart from this, Cartosat-1 and Cartosat-2 satellites have also been launched by ISRO. Cartosat-3 is an earth observational satellite weighing 1625 kg. ISRO has said that the agreement to launch 13 American Nano satellite was recently made, and its commercial arm was newsspace India News Limited (NSLV). Cartosat-3 was PSLV's 21th flight with Stripes while PSLV had 74th flight. Cartosat-3 will be placed at an orbit of 509 kilometers at an inclination of 97.5 degrees.


The Cartosat series has so far launched Cartosat-1, Cartosat-2 and Cartosat-3 satellites. Cartosat-1 was launched on 5 May 2005. Cartosat-2 was launched on 10 January 2007, and Cartosat-3 was launched on Wednesday, 27 November 2019. ISRO's Chairman K. Sivan says, "ISRO's work has not ended after the successful installation of Cartosat-3 and 13 US satellite into orbital space. 6 launch vehicle missions and 7 satellite missions will be completed by March 2020."

After such a huge launch of ISRO, the entire world is eyeing India. It is a matter of great pride for India. It remains to be seen how much more ISRO touches new heights.
